It strongly influences the people, environment, and communities in which they are embedded. This conference brings together diverse experts and practitioners to develop new approaches to urban sustainability. Research disciplines include infrastructure ecology, biologically inspired design, complex systems, and mega-scale computation. Practitioner approaches include corporate sustainability, community-based equity and justice, and technology platforms for economic transformation.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe following topics, adapted from the National Science Foundation report,\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.nsf.gov\/ere\/ereweb\/ac-ere\/sustainable-urban-systems.pdf\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003ESustainable Urban Systems: Articulating a Long-term Convergence Research Agenda\u003C\/a\u003E, will form the framework for discussion.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cul\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EHow do systems interact?\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003ETheories of change\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003ESustainability assessment science\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EModeling the future\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EKnowledge co-production among researchers, communities, industry groups, practitioners, and governments at multiple scales\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\u003C\/ul\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThis\u0026nbsp;conference is one of 28\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.nsf.gov\/ere\/ereweb\/urbansystems\/awards.jsp\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003ESustainable Urban Systems Conference and Workshop Awards\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;that are being held across the country this summer as NSF explores concepts for potential Sustainable Urban Systems Research Networks.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EHosted at Georgia Tech.
